Winter Olympic's Quilting

2/18/2014

 
Have you been enjoying the winter Olympics?  In general I am not a huge sports fan.  But for some reason I am always drawn to the Olympics.

This year has been particularly fascinating with the patchwork theme in the Russian design.

To keep with the Olympic spirit, I thought I would offer the Electric Quilt cutting chart for twelve blocks that are my representation of some of the sports represented in the winter Olympics.  I've used a number of standard blocks in EQ and in Block Base.  I did make a few changes to make them a bit easier to piece.  I also took some liberties on the block names.  (You do not need EQ to use these charts.)

Cutting charts will all be for a twelve inch block. 

Block 1 - Ice Dancing

This block's published name is 'Square Dance".  Block was published by Michael James and is from Block Base.


I thought it would nicely represent my favorite Olympic sport "Ice Dance".

I love Meryl Davis and Charlie White - the US Olympic team ice dance leaders.  Their symmetry and artistry is breathtaking.  I started taking ice dance lessons a couple of years ago -- so I feel I can really appreciate the challenges this sport represents.  My dream is to be able to have just a fraction of the skills they demonstrate on ice.  Maybe just one twizzle -- or even a three turn in a partner hold position.

Future Blocks

My plans are to post a block every day or two and to provide a layout at the end.

If you do end up making any of these blocks, I would love to see pictures.  You can either send them to me on my contact page or post to Facebook.

Happy quilting and enjoy the Olympic events.
